diacriticomitted

Diacriticommitted is a neologism used to describe a policy, stance, or setting in writing and information systems that requires the consistent use and preservation of diacritical marks (diacritics) across text. In this usage, a diacriticommitted approach treats diacritics not as optional or decorative features but as integral to the identity and accuracy of words, languages, and datasets.

In editorial and localization practice, a diacriticommitted guideline would mandate that content retain existing diacritics and render them correctly in all outputs, including user interfaces, databases, and machine translations. This often entails ensuring font coverage for diacritics, Unicode normalization that preserves combining marks, and input methods that allow easy entry of diacritics. In computing, diacriticommitted systems strive to avoid stripping or altering diacritics during processing, storage, search, or collation, which can improve search accuracy and linguistic fidelity.

Etymology and usage: The term blends "diacritic" with "committed" and is not widely standardized; it appears primarily in informal or advocacy contexts discussing orthographic fidelity. It is related to, but distinct from, concepts such as diacritics, diacritic preservation, and Unicode normalization.
